in the valley of the blind, the one-eyed man is king

proverb Someone with few skills or abilities can impress and wield power over those who have even less to offer. A: "Oh please, Dave's a fool, and the only reason he has any power at all is because he can do lots of odd jobs that the other people around here can't." B: "Wow, I guess it’s true what they say—in the valley of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." A: "I don't have much faith in the person those imbeciles chose as their leader." B: "Why?" A: "Because I know that, in the valley of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." I know I'm not perfect, but I bet I can outsmart these people. In the valley of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, after all.
